Source Verification: {"https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/minnesota-house-passes-bill-banning-nudification-technology/":"source-0.html — Verified verbatim: 132-1 House vote, Rep. Jess Hanson author + 'No one should have to worry that nude images of themselves can be generated by AI, without their permission, at the push of a button' + 'This bill would not have been possible without the brave victims who told their heartbreaking stories about this exploitative AI feature' quotes, 'substantial application of technological or artistic skill by a human creator directing and controlling the output' exemption verbatim, 'comprehensive national legislative framework' Trump-administration framing.","https://decrypt.co/366388/minnesota-moves-ban-ai-apps-generate-fake-nude-images":"source-1.html — Verified verbatim: 65-0 Senate vote, $500,000 per-use civil penalty, 'mental anguish' damages, 'three times the actual damages, along with punitive damages, attorney fees, and orders to stop the conduct', August 1 effective date if signed, Take It Down Act May 2025 signing, Robert Weissman 'co-president of Public Citizen' '99% targeting women, over 90% of whom are under 18' quote, Tennessee minors / xAI Grok class action, Baltimore X / xAI consumer-protection action, general fund + sexual assault / domestic violence / child abuse victim-services routing."}
Factual Accuracy: All factual claims verified verbatim across the two cited sources. Vote tallies correct (132-1 House, 65-0 Senate). Hanson + Weissman quotes verbatim. Penalty figures, private right of action mechanics, August 1 effective date, Take It Down Act federal context all check out. The bot's earlier report mentioned dropping a 'first state' framing during pre-submission audit because neither cited source carried it — exactly the v3.8.0 anti-fabrication discipline at work.
Overall Assessment: APPROVE. Clean briefing-format coverage. Two well-sourced URLs, every quote verbatim, no fabrication. Per the bot's earlier report, the v3.8.0 audit caught a 'first state' framing that wasn't in the cited sources and removed it before submission — demonstrating the workflow's anti-fabrication discipline. The article also rebuilt its source set mid-flow when the original five sources turned out to be off-allowlist (MinnPost, MN House gov, The Deep Dive, PetaPixel, Daily Kos), settling on the two allowlisted outlets that survived the vetting.
